Stubbornness of Gazan farmers, keeping with cultivating their fields, should it be under bullets, is one of the vivid form of Palestinian resistance. French solidarity movement understands it clearly, as shown by the success of the two water-tower campaigns coordinated by UJFP, meant to allow watering Khuza’a and Abasan fields located nearby the separation fence.

Over 60 Palestinians were killed, including seven children and around 2000 demonstrators were injured on Monday, May 14th, as Israeli snipers fired live ammunition at protesters commemorating the 70th anniversary this week of the Nakba and protesting against the opening of the US embassy in East Jerusalem.

The European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine (ECCP) is one of 20 organisations from around the world that fight for Palestinian rights whose members have been banned from entering Palestine by the government of the state of Israel due to their defence of Palestinian human rights and their support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Ladies and Gentlemen
Members of the First European Conference on Israeli Settlement \ November 6, Brussels.

We would like to express our deep thanks and appreciation for your participation, and your kind contribution, which had a great impact on the success of the activities of the first European Conference on Settlement, which was held on 6 November 2017 in Brussels.
We hope that, you will play a principal role to internationalize the issue of israeli settlements through the institutions and positions you represent in your countries, and mobilize European public opinion against Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.
We herewith send you the Final Declaration (Brussels Declaration) adopted by your Conference, as well as the names of the members of the Follow-up Committee.

We look forward to meet you again, and thank you for your solidarity with our Palestinian People.

I am Mohamad Zwahra, 18 Years old, from Al-Masara village, South Bethlehem, Palestine.

I has been participating in, and documenting, the life of the village for nearly a decade.

I take photographs and write about the nonviolent protests, the cultural activities of the area, the tradition and customs by documenting the life stories of the people of the village and the other surrounding villages.

Sedq: A Global Jewish Network for Justice stands in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for freedom and an end to political imprisonment. The Palestinian prisoner Hunger Strike has been going on since the 17th of April – and we call for their full protection and rights. Over 1500 Palestinian prisoners are on a hunger strike, a form of resistance and protest that is part of a larger struggle for freedom and against the occupation military’s control over Palestinian bodies and lives. They are raising awareness of the 6300 Palestinian political prisoners, which includes 300 children and 61 women, 500 of whom are in administrative detention.

Of course, solidarity has never been included in any code as an offense.

However, associative activists who are only helping people in very precarious situations, victims of dangerous, violent and even inhuman decisions, find themselves facing justice today.

With the introduction of a state of emergency, and in the context of the so-called “migratory crisis”, there has been a resurgence of prosecutions aimed at preventing the expression of solidarity with migrants, refugees, Roma and undocumented migrants. It is the support for all foreigners which tends to become suspect, the expression of the contestation of the policies being carried out which is assimilated with rebellion and the disturbance to public order.
